Remembering September 11, 2001--17 years later

September 11, 2018-17 years later

I remember exactly where I was the morning of September 11, 2001. Ironically, I was sitting in my 7th grade history class. I remember the teacher turned on the classroom television after the first plane had hit the World Trade Center and before the second one hit. I remember the principal making an announcement to turn off all televisions and radios almost right as the second plane hit. At the time, as a 7th grader myself and my friends had no idea what had really happened. I remember coming home and finding out the severity of what had happened. I remember watching all of the news coverage replaying what had happened. I remember hearing the word terrorism for really the first time and not knowing what it meant. Even though myself and my friends and family were not directly affected by the events of that day, it is one of those things that will always stick out in my mind. Of course in the years to follow life changed for everyone as we declared war and as we watched the main events of that war play out. Even though the war is still going on 17 years later, you don't hear as much about it anymore. Life definitely changed after this momentous event and now we all live in a slight fear that something so catastrophic could happen again. I may be 29 now, but I can almost perfectly replay that day in my mind. I will definitely never forget. 

A little about me

A little about me...

My name is Amanda and I am a teacher and direct sales consultant. I started Periscope back in 2015 and I did this original 100 Scope challenge in early 2016. I cannot believe how much I have grown in my videos since this video was filmed. You can check out some of my more recent replays at my Periscope account at www.periscope.tv/amandabeautytip  

Feel Healthier and More Energized in 2018!

Do you want to feel healthier and more energized in 2018?

Most of us want to be healthier because when you are healthier you just feel better! We may make adjustments to our diet, set goals to exercise more, and even add nutritional supplements to our daily health routines. In 2018, I have been trying to make healthier choices in what I eat and exercise daily for a few minutes. I have also found a supplement line that is designed to boost and sustain your natural energy. I have been using these products since January and I have never felt better! I stand behind these products because of how they make me feel and not just because I am an Avon Independent Sales Representative.

I cannot believe I am 29!

My 29th Birthday

Yesterday, I celebrated my 29th birthday. I know I do not look 29 and I definitely don't feel 29. I chose to spend my birthday relaxing and with some family. We had a nice family dinner together. You know you're a real adult when all you really want is to spend time with family and you don't "celebrate" your birthday with a party or going out. 

Happy New Year 2018!

Happy New Year!

Seriously? How is it January 1, 2018 already? 2017 seemed to zip by. It seems like just yesterday I was writing the New Year update for 2017. As you can see I didn't do too much blogging here in 2017. I guess that's because my primary business blog is located elsewhere and between working full time and trying to grow my business online presence the personal stuff went out the window a little bit. For 2018, I'd like to come back to this blog more than I did in 2017. I may make it a goal to do it at least once weekly and then if I have other things to talk about more frequently than that, great, but if not I'll at least do the once a week posts. We'll see if I stick to that goal. I don't really make New Year's resolutions because I don't stick to them...lol. Looking forward to what is to come this year!

30 Day Beauty Challenge Days 21-30

Hello everyone! Back in August I started a 30 Day Beauty Challenge that I found online. I am going to divide up the challenge posts into three posts Days 1-10, Days 11-20, and Days 21-30. I will be sharing what I shared on Social Media as my answers for the 30 day challenge. I just found this challenge so feel free to do it yourself.

Day 21: Favorite Nail Polish

My favorite nail polish is Avon Gel Finish 7-in-1 Nail Enamel. Here is the Lavender Sky color.

Day 22: Least Favorite Product

As much as I LOVE Avon, there is one product that I really don't like that I will use in a pinch but do not regularly use. That product is our Roll-On Deodorants. I just don't like liquid roll-on deodorants as I find them sticky and I prefer bar deodorants.

Day 23: Eyeshadow

The Avon True Color 8-in-1 Eyeshadow palette in Smoky Nights was featured on Season 16 of Project Runway!

Day 24: Eye Liner

Glimmersticks are our most popular eye liners. They come in a variety of colors so you are sure to find one that you like.

Day 25: Brows

Define, fill & set your Brows with the Avon True Color Perfect Eyebrow Styling Duo. This powder and wax set colors in brows and provides shape and hold. Eyebrows look defined and perfectly groomed.

Day 26: Favorite Body Product

One of my favorite Bath and Body Products is Avon Senses Bubble Bath! One of my favorite scents is the Lavender.

Day 27: What do you carry in your handbag?

I typically just carry the basics. Wallet, cell phone, keys. I also have a lip balm and hand cream. I don't really carry any other beauty products with me. lol.

Day 28: Lip Care

Our Moisture Therapy Lip Balm is a must have product. It will keep your lips from getting dry and chapped. Flavor and fragrance free. Made in the USA.

Day 29: Hair Tools

I tend to just use a hair brush. Avon offers some great hair care products including shampoo, conditioner, and treatments as well as a couple of hair brushes.

Day 30: Makeup Collection

 I have mostly lipsticks, eyeshadow, and mascara.
